Zachary was taken to the pool area of Silver Beach Towers where he received immediate medical attention. He was then taken by EMS to Fort Walton Beach Medical Center for treatment.

“He never lost consciousness and he was able to talk to us the whole time,” Hutchinson said.

His current condition is unavailable.

According to the report, the case is closed.

A shark attack was reported in Pensacola last month when a man was bitten in the foot while swimming in 10- to 12-feet of water. A 7-year-old boy was injured Sept. 25 in Panama City Beach when he received puncture wounds and a gash on his ankle while wading in shallow waters.
